I will try this option. The "bs" thing sounds right ;-) Though I feel it's a bad thing not to be able to duplicate a cdrom in an easy way. I'll check out cdrdao (mentioned elsewhere) too. I know I can mount the cdrom and use mkisofs, but that will not work for bootable CD's. I just want to duplicate some bootable CD's in an easy way. So I guess I check out cdrdao and that kde prog. -- dick -- http://nagual.st/ -- PGP/GnuPG key: F86289CE ++ Running FreeBSD 4.11 ++ FreeBSD 5.3 + Nai tiruvantel ar vayuvantel i Valar tielyanna nu vilja _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
